What is the best language to learn OOP concepts ?

Good question. If we are talking "real OOP", I'm not sure these days. What do other people think?

Smalltalk is very long in the tooth these days, but it is still "rather object-oriented in good ways".

Erlang and its derivatives are fun and good to help that kind of thinking.

Smalltalk and Lisp (via CLOS) would still be my top two choices... haven't come across anything better yet.
